Law of Attraction: What if it Wasn't YOU?by Shauna Arthurs
What if it wasn't you?... What if your best friend, or your sister or brother...maybe even your neighbor or someone you knew in high school, had an IDEA... They put it out there in the business world or on the internet, and before long they had money rolling in...FLOWING as if from a gigantic waterfall, in fact... This person, who you know to be 'normal', is suddenly getting a ton of attention, and showers of compliments and maybe even fantastic media coverage. Maybe one day you are taking the kids to Florida with the tiniest bit of money you've been able to save, or possibly using credit...and at the airport you see this PERSON, tanned and looking wealthy, getting into their private jet...glamourous, wealthy, HAPPY! How do you feel, really? Jealous? Resentful? Maybe even angry and wondering why everyone thinks they are so great? Could you really dig into this visualization and come up with some pretty strong, negative feelings? Well, if you can, then you still have some work to do on your prosperity mentality/wealth consciousness. For two major reasons: 1) Prosperity and wellbeing are like an ocean...they are for everyone, not just a 'special' few. Until we want for others what we want for ourselves; until we encourage others to follow their dreams just as much as we imagine following our own, then we are blocking ourselves from our own prosperity and abundance. 2) What we think of others who are prosperous is the same thing we secretly worry about others thinking about us...'What if they hate me? My friends might resent me and talk behind my back?'...etc. etc.. A wise woman once wrote 'It is none of your business what other people think about you.' When you are focused on what others may think, you are not focusing on the one person that matters in your life - YOU. You could not control others' opinions even if you wanted to, so stop trying and get on with the fun of creating your life exactly how you want it to be. As you do so, you can shine like a light showing what is possible, and allow others to interpret it according to their own levels of understanding...that is what will happen inevitably, anyway. Choose what you want from the examples around you rather than resenting them, and go CREATE YOUR DREAMS!
